Menards assistant manager and former Iowa City resident Dylan Nathaniel Quint has given back to the community in many ways over the years. One way Dylan N. Quint has helped others is through tutoring, by which he provides young children with guidance in academics.
One of the most difficult aspects of tutoring is finding a way to monitor the child's progress. Getting a sense of whether a pupil is truly comprehending lessons or just going through the motions can be difficult, and not all tutors have direct access to the pupil's teachers to discuss progress.
One effective way to monitor a child's progress in tutoring is through mock exams. The tutor starts with some past work from the student, such as a homework assignment or exam, identifying problem areas. After this review, the tutor can create a new exam which follows an identical format, and have the student take the exam under the same conditions as the initial exam or assignment. By comparing the work on the two, tutors can more effectively discern which areas are improving or need further improvement.
By using substantially similar exams multiple times, this model helps to isolate trouble spots. School units may move on to developing other skills before the learner has the current set mastered, so the continuity of format with the tutor can often highlight things more effectively than classroom exams.
